Reflection

I learnt that gravity helps people get stronger, without gravity you don't become any stronger.
I enjoyed finding out the side effects of gravity.

Yellow_Traffic_Light.pngI was a little confused of what I was meant to be doing today, because I didn't really understand what Miss Stovold was saying until nearly the end of our lesson.
